A strategic partnership secures investment that will enhance Tokenize Exchange’s infrastructure and facilitate growth in potential markets like decentralized finance.

Tokenize Xchange (Tokenize), a leading digital asset exchange in Southeast Asia, today announced a significant twofold milestone in its growth strategy. Animoca Brands (Animoca), a global leader in digital entertainment, blockchain, and gamification, has made a strategic investment in Tokenize’s blockchain, Titan Chain. Additionally, the two companies have established a strategic partnership set to enhance Tokenize’s blockchain infrastructure and expand its reach into high-growth markets.

This announcement follows Tokenize’s recent US$11.5 million Series A phase 2 funding, team expansion in Singapore, and the appointment of a new Chief Strategy Officer earlier this year. The new development demonstrates Tokenize’s commitment to accelerating growth and strengthening its market presence.

Animoca Brands, renowned for its expansive blockchain portfolio and visionary contributions to digital ownership across several verticals including entertainment, education, and identifiers, will invest in an undisclosed amount of TKX, Tokenize’s native token and the primary medium for gas fees in the Titan Chain ecosystem.

The strategic partnership between Tokenize and Animoca will bring crucial support to Tokenize’s ecosystem in several ways. Animoca will provide market-making services, become Tokenize’s biggest node validator, and list the TKX token. There’s also potential for Tokenize to work with other projects in Animoca’s large Web3 portfolio, including Mocaverse, Animoca’s main consumer network that connects different blockchain platforms.

This teamwork will bring important benefits to Tokenize and its users. It will make it easier to buy and sell TKX and other tokens in the ecosystem. Tokenize will be able to create new blockchain products, especially in gaming and digital collectibles. The Titan Chain will become more secure and work better. Importantly, Tokenize’s community is likely to grow as it connects with Animoca’s many blockchain and gaming fans.

The strategic collaboration signals Tokenize’s readiness to capture a significant share of this growth, particularly in the realms of gaming, digital collectibles, and decentralized finance.

Hong Qi Yu, CEO and Founder of Tokenize Xchange, emphasized the transformative nature of the partnership: “This investment from Animoca Brands into Titan Chain marks a pivotal moment for the entire Tokenize ecosystem. By leveraging Animoca’s expertise in blockchain gaming and digital assets alongside our robust infrastructure, we’re poised to deliver unprecedented value to our users. This collaboration will significantly enhance our ability to innovate across DeFi, GameFi, and NFTs, solidifying Tokenize’s position as a leader in the digital asset space.”

Yat Siu, Co-founder and Executive Chairman of Animoca Brands, said: “We are excited to invest in Titan Chain and collaborate with Tokenize Xchange, whose vision aligns closely with our mission to advance digital property rights and foster an open metaverse. By combining Titan Chain’s robust infrastructure, Tokenize’s strong market presence in Southeast Asia, and our expertise in gaming and digital collectibles, we aim to build innovative, user-centric blockchain solutions that will drive mass adoption in Southeast Asia.”

Titan Chain, Tokenize’s mainnet, is built on the Cosmos SDK, offering full EVM compatibility and seamless Ethereum interoperability. It’s designed to address high transaction fees, scalability issues, and limited interoperability in existing networks.

Tokenize operates under regulatory exemptions from the Monetary Authority of Singapore and holds a full Digital Asset Exchange license from the Securities Commission Malaysia. The company aims to become the leading regulated exchange in Southeast Asia while promoting financial inclusion through its DeFi initiatives. Animoca’s investment in Titan Chain further cements Tokenize’s commitment to providing secure, compliant, and innovative digital asset services.

As the blockchain market is projected to reach $1,431.54 billion by 2030, according to Grand View Research, the strategic collaboration signals Tokenize’s readiness to capture a significant share of this growth, particularly in the realms of gaming, digital collectibles, and decentralized finance.
